Break ObamaCare’s Back: Do Not Purchase Health Insurance

Running around uninsured for the first time in my adult life
has not been easy. The tax penalty isn’t cheap (2.5% of your taxable income)
and there is the constant uneasy fear of an expensive medical problem, a cancer
or car accident, the kind that can bankrupt you.

History has shown, though, that there is almost always a
personal price to pay for social change through civil disobedience — a price
I’m willing to pay to help break the back of ObamaCare, an immoral and
illegitimate government program sold with serial-presidential (and media) lies
and enacted into law using one-party procedural tricks.

Like a vast majority of Americans, I was happy with our
imperfect health care system prior to the passage of ObamaCare. In-between
employer insurance opportunities, I had always purchased an affordable
catastrophic plan with a high deductible. It was the best of both worlds —
allowing me to pay out of pocket most of my care while enjoying the peace of
mind that comes with an emergency insurance policy.

ObamaCare made these wonderful catastrophic policies
illegal.

Actually, what ObamaCare did was make these catastrophic
plans unaffordable.

ObamaCare’s insanely high deductibles really are
catastrophic plans; just very expensive ones — in my case, close to three times
the cost of my last catastrophic plan.

Paying the tax penalty and my medical costs out of pocket is
still cheaper than purchasing ObamaCare. When you are uninsured, an entirely
different world opens up for you. Doctors charge less. Pharmacies charge less.
Everyone charges less.

Under ObamaCare, I would have to pay close to $400 for a
monthly premium, and my $6500 deductible would ensure I pay out of pocket for
almost all of the same services I’m paying out-of-pocket for now. Because
I would be “insured,” I would also pay more for these services. My uninsured
discount would no longer apply. On top of this, ObamaCare premium costs are
expected to explode by double digits next
year.

Even accounting for the tax penalty, my annual health care
costs would more than double under ObamaCare. And I’m someone with more
than one monthly prescription who visits the doctor regularly. I take my health
seriously and oftentimes am tempted to break weak and purchase ObamaCare
for fear of a catastrophic health event.

I won’t, though, because I want to do my part to break the
back of ObamaCare. I just can’t live with the idea of doing anything that will
benefit Obama’s and the media’s serial lies. And as an American, I surely can’t
abide being forced into doing anything. Giving in can get to be a habit, a
dangerous habit.

Hopefully, the Supreme Courtwill
do the right thing this month and end these illegal ObamaCare subsidies going
to able-bodied adults. The idea that we the taxpayers are making insurance
companies rich by paying for any part of someone else’s over-priced health
insurance premium is almost too maddening to comprehend.

The greedy takers enjoying these subsidies aren’t eligible
for disability, Social Security, or Medicaid. Like my wife and I did to make
ends meet when necessary, these people need to work harder, second and third
jobs, not steal from those of us who have.

Either way the Court rules, ObamaCare can still collapse
under its own weight if enough people refuse to sign up. Even with its mandate,
ObamaCare is already millions of people behind projected enrollment figures,
which could finally break its back:

[A]s of now, HHS says that just 10.2 million signed up and
paid premiums (which only met HHS’s downwardly revised target). That means that
the number of enrollees will have to double next year to meet CBO projections
of 21 million.

Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides about the
legality of federal exchange subsidies later this month, reaching 21 million
will be a challenge. Especially because in the first two years, Obamacare may
have already signed up the low-hanging fruit — those who had the greatest need
for health insurance.

The number of enrollees isn’t of arbitrary importance,
either. Insurers require a broad enough pool of enrollees to manage their risk
and keep premiums stable. …

But if this doesn’t work, and enrollment substantially lags
in 2016, insurers could be spooked enough into stepping away from the
exchanges, driving up rates even further and placing the program’s
sustainability in doubt.

A new Washington Post poll
shows that ObamaCare is currently as unpopular as ever. Only 39% of Americans
support the illegitimate program, while a full 54% oppose.

This is not surprising.

ObamaCare has been all pain, no gain (except for the lazy,
able-bodied takers enjoying our subsidies). All the promises from Obama,
Democrats, and the media were lies. Emergency room visits haven’t decreased.
Costs have exploded, not decreased. We did lose the insurance and doctors we
liked. We did lose a lot of choices. Religious liberty is constantly under
attack.

Worst of all, a terrible precedent has been set. For the
first time in America, Americans are required by the federal government to
purchase something for “their own good” — and not because we choose to do
something like drive a car or live in a city. There is no opting out of
ObamaCare, no way to escape it.

Except through risky civil disobedience.

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C.
